Yeah, Brom, you expressed surprise when so many people found your response off-putting. So some of us offered specific ideas to help explain our reaction. But it's pretty clear that you didn't really want to know why the reactions occurred. It would seem that KC's analysis is right.

Whew! I thought this was a wine board! I'm glad to see I was not alone in my assessment. Unlike knowledge of wine, tact cannot be acquired. I do offer my apologies to Foodie. I wasn't trying to paint people who drink a bottle of wine a day as drunks. I don't think that at all. It just seemed that the way Brom phrased his response was a jab at ME drinking too much. Anyways, thank you WW for your kind offer and advice on the dessert wine. I'd have to say the Moscato was not my cup of tea (too sweet). And thanks to everyone else for their advice and support!

yabloka, no apolgy needed. I wasn't upset. A couple of times you mentioned a bottle a day as a potential problem; I want you to know that it doesn't necessarily have to be a problem, and for many of us it isn't.

WW, you noticed. On my trip I made a point of taking stock in my attitude; as a result I vowed to suffer fools as gladly as I enjoy the nice people--at least until such time as my @#$&*** patience runs out...

Foodie- I'm sorry. Your statement about wine and chemisrty was lost in all of that... Well, let's not go there. Yes, I am interested in wine making, but that will have to be put on hold for now. Nursing school and law school are my first priorities. I'm just glad that I'm able to further my wine knowledge while I'm studying.
